The U.S. Naval Construction Battalions, better known as the Navy Seabees, will continue their volunteer work in the community this Saturday, Oct. 13, when they hang 85 new Veterans Day banners on light poles on Main Street in downtown Waynesboro from Potomac Street to Broad Street.

The banners will be displayed until after Nov. 11 and taken down when the Christmas tree decorations are hung by borough maintenance crews.

The Veterans Day banners were being sold through Mainstreet Waynesboro, Inc. to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans.

About five years ago, Denny Martin of Star Electric spearheaded the Memorial Day banners that are hung in May to honor those who died while in military service.
